iPhone models such as iPhone 7, 8, X, XR, XS and XS Max are the best mobile phones in view of its outstanding design and splendid hardware, which is almost perfect. However, iPhone also has some flaws that can cause inconveniences to iOS users, such as fragile screen, closed system, and low-capacity battery.

Now, here are detailed methods on how to make iPhone ringtone quickly.

Tips:
With so many ringtones on iPhone, why not make full use of them? You can set different ringtone for different contacts. On iPhone, select a contact and click “Edit” at the upper right corner. Hit the “Ringtone” option, then you can set a ringtone for him/her. In this way, you’ll know who’s calling you just according to the ringtone.

Way 2: iTunes

iTunes is a traditional way used by many users to manage their iOS devices. You can use it to make iPhone ringtone. However, the process is pretty complicated for many newbies.

  • Download the latest iTunes on PC.
  • Run it and connect your iPhone to PC with attached USB cable.
  • Open your Music library and locate the song you want to set your iPhone ringtone. Right-click it and select the “Get Info” option, then set up the start and stop time under “Options”. Note that the duration should not be longer than 30 seconds.

  • Drag this short song to your computer and change its extension from .m4a to .m4r which is the default ringtone format of iPhone.
  • Add the m4r song to iTunes library and you can find it in Tones. And you can sync it to your iPhone now. Finally, you’re allowed to set it as your ringtone on iPhone.

Cons:

  • The whole process is quite troublesome.
  • By tapping “Sync”, you’ll lose all your previous ringtones on iPhone except default ringtones.
  • Using iTunes, you can only make ringtones limited to 30 seconds.
  • You have to remember the start and stop time accurately.

Conclusion

Both the third-party tool and iTunes can allow you to set ringtone on iPhone. But compared with the iTunes, ApowersManager is way easier and more user friendly. Undoubtedly, it will be your better aid when making iPhone ringtone.
